Bought a '96 2500 4X2 diesel with 74K. Tried to change oil monday. The drain plug had been torqued way too much and the head had been cracked. When I tried to replace with 66 Foot Pounds the head sheared off. After three attempts to find a replacement, two attempts at Dodge dealers a new correctly formed plug and proper seal was installed. It still continues to seep a bit. The tech has the plug installed in excess of 75 foot pounds and I've been told if it continues to leak a new pan will be needed. My question? Has anyone else had a similiar experience and if so, how tight did you turn the plug to get the seeping to stop? Without the threads stripping or the head shearing off as I've experienced. Thanks,
